APRIL Guesses:
Q1: Dbl. Double is flawed, but it keeps the ball rolling.
Q2: 3NT. How does it go, something something 3NT Hamman?
Q3: Pass. The auction will not end here. Let’s see what develops.
Q4: Pass. Take the plus.
Q5: Pass. Nowhere left to go.
[ADDED April 8, 2019]
Results are in. I saved questions and results as a pdf and have attached the file.
I had a moderately successful month, doing well on 4 of the 5 problems. Question 5, I totally booted. Too timid, I guess.
Q1: Dbl. 100
Q2: 3NT. 90
Q3: Pass. 100
Q4: Pass. 100
Q5: Pass. 30
TOTAL: 420

June guesses:
Q1: 3NT. Last chance to bid 3NT. Partner shows no support for my five card suit, so this may be wishful thinking.
Q2: 2C. Wide-ranging. I’m more inclined to show my second suit when partner responds in my void suit. If partner passes, then it's probably where we belong.
Q3: Pass. Tough one. Showing my four card suit is tempting, allowing partner to continue describing his hand. But with no source of tricks, game may not be there. So let's defend.
Q4: Dbl. AQT looks like three and-a-half hearts, which is close enough.
Q5: 3D. Let's jam the bidding a bit.

October Guesses:
Q1: 2D. Showing extras?
Q2: 2NT. The spade honors are poorly placed, but going low with 1NT is timid. They pay a game bonus at Matchpoints, too. Maybe partner has enough to cooperate.
Q3: 1H. I count 16 HCP but it's worth about 13. So as ugly as that heart suit is, I bid it.
Q4: Pass. WTP?
Q5: 3H. I wish we were using that 3M gadget by opener to show a 4=6 hand. Lacking that, I'll give partner what little information I can.
To pass would be masterminding.

I totally forgot about this competition. Thanks for posting Todd!
